I asked my friend for more details:
He is taking training and the school uses own syllabus (141 approved);
The package is basically PPL>IR rating > Commercial.
According to my friend, the school always like to recruit student as many as possible by offering shorter program. The school just pushes students complete PPL then to commercial ground school or IR simulator without have them complete PPL paperworks instead of increase staff and fleets.
My concern is , will it violate Part 141 appendix C and D when school pushes students to commercial or IFR rating ? Those students might not meet the eligibility of appx. C and D cause they don't even complete PPL paperworks not mention a temporary document.
I appreciate your time explaining before enrollment, it is difficult to get help for international student if a school involving in federal violation. They always take our tuition and disappear.
